In a nutshell

Waterproof
No rain’s getting through this! The water column shows how waterproof the fabric is: the higher the number, the higher the waterproofing.
Windproof
Not even a breath of wind gets through here. In other words, you never feel the cold wind through the fabric.
Breathable
This means that your sweat can escape, instead of being trapped. So you never feel clammy.
DWR
Wear-resistant layer along the outside of the fabric where water beads right off, while still allowing your sweat to escape. After a while, it is best to renew this layer with an impregnating agent.

General

When you’re caught out by a sudden downpour; when your pace is racing as you scramble up a steep ridge; or when sun and rain are battling for sky space, you’ll want to be wearing the Apex Flex FUTURELIGHT Jacket. And you can keep wearing it - whatever your pace, because it’s made with FUTURELIGHT - a customisable breathable-waterproof fabric. It’s engineered using nano-spinning technology that adds air permeability to a waterproof membrane for the first time. On top of this, it’s made from recycled polyester and impregnated with a non-PFC durable water repellent, so it has excellent sustainability credentials, too. But this three-layer shell doesn't feel – or even look – like a shell. The fabric is soft, tactile and with a slight stretch it delivers all-day comfort. Plus, it has a smooth backer that, unlike traditional shell jackets, doesn’t feel cool on bare skin. It features sealed seams, an attached, fully adjustable hood, Velcro cuffs and internal front zip storm flap to keep wind and rain at bay.

Washing waterproof garments

 

Always review the jacket labels before washing for specific washing instructions. We recommend that you wash your waterproof jacket with a technical detergent on a regular basis. This prevents damage to the waterproof layer. Rise it out well so that there are no soap residues. Never use fabric softener.

 

Impregnating waterproof garments

 

When you impregnate your jacket, it is a good idea to put it in the dryer after washing it. This reactivates the water repellent layer on the outside. After several washes, the outside of your garment will absorb moisture. The jacket will become heavy and feel cold and clammy. When that happens, it is time to impregnate the jacket. Use a product made for the washing machine or choose a spray.
